Fundamental to my way of working is establishing a good working counselling relationship. No two counselling relationships are the same and this is because you are a unique individual. Whilst you may share a similar presenting problem as another, how you experience it will not be the same. I bring my lived life experiences, my continual personal and professional development and my own individual style of counselling, and my way of working with you is tailored to your uniqueness. Together you and I will influence the therapeutic process and our counselling relationship.
While working together we will predominately explore the problems or issues you are living with, we will not work in isolation of these: clients are not just the problem or an issue that they bring to the counselling session – the problem or the issue that you are seeking counselling for does not solely define you or characterise you as the whole individual you are, and this is as applicable to two individuals presenting as a couple as it is an individual adult or young person.
I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, authentic and emphatic counselling setting for you to explore problems or difficulties you are living with. With care and diligence, together we will explore your past and present experiences and work towards your future aims and goals. With my help, you will discover your own safe solutions to problems: I am not the expert of your life: you are…..!
